Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 176 [School Anniversary]

It was late spring in Ayr.

In artistic imagery, late spring is the most beautiful season.

El had never been better.

Perhaps before long, he would be able to remove the word "acting" from his title and become the real Principal Winster.

Because he successfully hosted the centenary celebration of the University of Winchester.

What a symbolic meaning this is.

In fact, he was still a little scared some time ago, the reason was naturally that Ethan was caught for money laundering.

He was afraid that he would be implicated. At that time, Ethan's project at Winster University had already started.

El was planning to run away regardless of the consequences.

Fortunately, Ethan got through it again.

As expected, it’s Ethan, a man who can always create miracles.

Now it's fine, everything is back on track.

The school anniversary is about to begin, and Ethan’s personal art exhibition and auction are also today.

I don’t know how many people gathered in Winster.

In the past, Winster University had some fame in the northern part of the kingdom, but it was impossible for it to gain the favor of reporters in the capital.

This time, several reporters from the royal capital contacted him, saying that they wanted to interview him and do a special report on Winster University.

Wouldn't Winster University have the opportunity to become a nationally renowned university, or even be on par with the Kingdom Academy of Fine Arts?

When he thought of this, El felt a surge of heat in his heart.

He hurriedly continued to adjust his clothes in the mirror.

He had spent a lot of money to customize this, and he made sure to maintain his manners and demeanor during this school anniversary.

After tidying up his clothes for a while, he couldn't help but call Ethan, and then carefully asked Ethan if he had gone out.

It wasn't that he was afraid that Ethan wouldn't come, but he was too nervous and excited, afraid that something might go wrong.

After receiving a clear answer that he was going out and that Chief Judge Ned would also be visiting today, he couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.

The next step was to confirm whether the consul, city hall officials, council members, and other city dignitaries were present.

El couldn't help but get excited at the thought of so many important people being there.

Today is truly a feast.

------

Ethan went out after receiving a call from El.

He also invited the white-robed priest Otto to join him today.

They have reached a cooperation, including helping them find people.

After the car drove into the city, we found that Winster was indeed very lively today, with people everywhere and celebratory parades.

This is no longer just a simple anniversary celebration for the University of Winchester, it has become a carnival for the entire city.

But when passing by an alley, Ethan still saw something different.

In the alley, some workers were still busy, including some stiff-faced men who clearly did not look like those from the northern coastal areas.

Looking at their sturdy bodies and indifferent expressions, you can tell they are members of the Brotherhood of Steel.

"Why, their sewer project isn't finished yet?"

Ethan asked Anya.

"They haven't been able to start land reclamation recently, so it seems all the manpower has been put into the sewers. It seems that they have carried out a larger renovation than expected."

"So their manpower is also spread out today?"

"Yes."

"That's good." The car went around and around and finally arrived at the sea cliff of Winster University.

The reporters were already waiting.

As soon as you get off the car, you're greeted by a barrage of flashing lights.

Ethan took this in stride and went on to have a brief visit.

"...Everyone, actually you don't need to ask me so much. Just look at my work later. Everything I want to say is in my work." This sentence once again aroused everyone's curiosity and expectation.

You know, this is Ethan's first formal solo exhibition. Considering Ethan's age and the artistic talent he has shown at this age, the works he creates will definitely make him a master of his generation, even surpassing the current Popol.

Such a master's debut performance is such valuable news material.

Ethan, escorted by school security, separated the crowd and walked upstairs, but the flash lights were still chasing him.

The campus was bustling with activity today. As soon as Ethan entered, he was surrounded by people. Everyone greeted him and talked to him. Some even came up with the creative idea of ​​asking for his autograph.

With the first person asking for an autograph, more people naturally came forward. If Al hadn't shown up to save the situation at the last moment, Ethan might not have been able to get in today.

"Ethan, you are becoming more and more famous now."

El said half-jokingly.

"Principal El, you will soon be one too. After today, you will be as famous as Winster University."

Hearing this, El felt happy, but he still tried his best to suppress it and told himself to be reserved.

"By the way, Ethan, that person... I can't invite him, why don't you try?"

The person he was talking about was naturally Gustav.

Gustav had sorted out his academic achievements some time ago and asked Ethan to help publish them in an academic journal in the royal capital.

Ethan helped him with this. At the same time, he also thought that Gustav wanted to gain fame, so he invited him to attend the school anniversary today and announce his achievements. In this way, Winster University will have a new strong major in the future, and Gustav will also become famous.

It's a win-win situation.

Unexpectedly, Gustav refused.

It seems that Ethan misunderstood. He simply wanted to prove himself in the academic world.

"Forget it, if he doesn't want to come, don't force him."

Soon, more people arrived.

The city's dignitaries, city hall officials.

Naturally, this also includes Ned, Sophia, Bob, and... Oswaldo.

The most crucial person is him.

He must come today.

Otherwise, how would this big show prepared for him begin?

In addition, Ethan also saw the white-robed priest Otto.

The personnel are ready.

"Mr. Osvaldo, long time no see. Why didn't I see your good friend Victor today?" Ethan went up to greet Osvaldo.

"Has he been invited today? No?" Osvaldo smiled.

"No?" Ethan looked back at El.

"Uh... maybe, maybe... the people down there made a mistake, I'll go check it out." El felt nervous, he still couldn't adapt to the atmosphere at this level.

In fact, it was Ethan who asked him not to send the invitation to Victor.

Of course Ethan couldn't let Victor go. It wasn't because of his personal likes and dislikes, but today, he wanted to defeat them one by one.

"Forget it. He's not someone who appreciates art anyway, so it's better if he doesn't come." Osvaldo waved his hand indifferently, telling El not to worry.

With the arrival of these important figures, the atmosphere of the entire school celebration gradually reached its climax, and it was time to enter the main event of the school celebration.
